I just unwittingly bought myself a T for xmas. I was at Jamies ordering roaches over the weekend and didn't check my cart from when my son and I were looking at prices on various sites for his genic and the g.albo we ordered last week. I just looked at the email from Jamie for my recent order and I now will own 2 b. albo. one 1/4" and this one 1/2-3/4" My son doesn't like raising the tiny ones like I do, so it'll be another present for him. Now i'll have 7 little ones to raise and enjoy.

So much for waiting until summer to get another huh? :oops:

Just goes to show you to check the shopping cart before you check out lol

I'm sure he will be. He was a bit upset when the sling package deal we got from Ken comes with 1/4" slings. He doesn't like raising them small so this will probably make his day.

The pet rock kind are what he wants. He was saying over the weekend that the reason he wanted the Rosea was to have one he could handle that wasn't really skittish.

Ooops. I'm sure your son will be thrilled. It's a good job it wasn't a expensive T though.

My partner took me to a con, gave me $100, and said, "Merry Christmas" (one of the many reasons I love that man, lol). Walked out with a N. chromatus, 2 L. violaceopes (price was right, and hoping for a breeding pair when they mature), OBT, and P. irminia. Merry Christmas, indeed!

Psychotic is right, lol. So far, my P metallica is more crazy than the ornata. It's like a spaz

My P. metallica are like yours - super spastic. This particular P. ornata (not his two future girlfriends, though) is a killing machine. He's named after my favorite character from some of my favorite books. Ken Lubin is an industrial spy/assassin with a "compulsive murder fetish." Hope that gives you a bit of an idea about his temperament, lol.

He's totally gonna get me one of these days.

That's hilarious. It's true tho. As soon as I brought my ornata home, I made an enclosure for it, put it in, and dropped a 1" cricket in. Within seconds, it was in its mouth in the starter burrow I made. Didn't last long. It's stunning too!!!!!
